THE BALANCE OF NATURE
(Hal David-Burt Bacharach)

F                                                        Am7
Once to every bird there comes along
                                             Bbmaj7           Bb
The one bird that sings her a sweeter song, and
      F               F(C bass)    Bb
The balance of nature goes on
     F            Bb(C bass)  F    Gm(C bass)
Forever and ever with    true love.

Once to every deer there comes a deer
And from that first moment it¼s very clear that
The balance of nature goes on
Forever and ever with true love.

Ab              Fm7                        Dbmaj7
Day by day   we search for love
                   Bb         C9        Am7
The way we all were born to do.
Dm9  Dm7         Dm11  Gm9           Gm (C bass)
Not    one by one but     two by two, and

So, as long as there¼s a you and me. 
Together that¼s how it will always be, and

       F               F(C bass)    Bb  Gm      Gm7 (C bass)
The balance of nature goes on,  on, and on
               F         Am7        Bbmaj7
With true love.  (hum____________)
